Paid account extension buyer! You're very kind, and I love you quite a bit. ::Dances you::

I managed to get my CV printed off and handed it in a few places yesterday, including the agency who found K work the day after she signed up, who've made an appointment for me to register with them on Friday, so hopefully I will have money again soon. I also opened up an account with Alliance and Lester, and dad should have transferred the savings last night, so I've got that to fall back on now. The guy at the bank was halfway to transferring my current account over from Barclays, before I stopped him. Slow down, Customer Advisor. Surely the level of commitment is my choice.

Other than that, Peter/Sylar has mostly eaten my brain. And that's only half a pun. ( Potential spoilers and speculation )

The plan for today is to probably print out some more CVs and hand them in to more agencies, if I can find a print shop, and try to track down the Job Centre, and probably the new Die Hard movie. And to catch up more with Chamber of Secrets. That's one thing the free time has been good for. Anyway. Ciao.

Skip 160 in one hour. Personal best! Had to save a bunch of stuff and sadly skip over a discussion of Ray on lifein1973. I'll look at it tomorrow. If I'm not dead.

I have to read 120 pages of Last Orders by tonight (I love Vince), so I can get up at 7 tomorrow and go for my last Adaptation seminar of the term (yay!). Also I need to eat and shower and such. I feel this will all be hideously stuffed up by the fact that Never Mind the Buzzcocks is on at 9, Man Stroke Woman (not so brilliant, but starring Nick Burns, aka Nathan Barley, aka see icon) at 9.30, a Comedy Connections about 'Drop the Dead Donkey' at 10.35, and the first repeat of Green Wing at 11.05.

If I don't make it, tell my wife 'hello'.

Something I noticed about Nick Burns: In the Mighty Boosh (series 2, ep 3), he plays 'the King'. In last week's Man Stroke Woman, he did a (rather brilliant) 'I was made the King of Spain' sketch. And in Nathan Barley he is generally held to be 'King of the Idiots'. Conclusion: he likes to be king.

On another Mighty Boosh note, I was briefly reeling off possible plotbunnies and considering somehow pairing up the Hitcher (played by Noel Fielding) with the green woman on the Council of Shaman, as they're blatantly of the same tribe. Before being informed by the lovely commentary that she is in fact Noel's mum. And that's just wrong.

Oh, and I went to see V for Vendetta on Friday. It is awful good. Very political. Arguments are made for individual responsibility in overseeing our governments using pretty lesbians and roses. And it has Stephen Fry. And - I realised after a minute - both Dartie and Young Jolyon from the Forsyte Saga, calmly ignoring the fact they were once Victorian gentlemen together. It's a futuristic reincarnation fascism bonanza! I'm not sure precisely I can work slash into that...but I'll try.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is out, and while I'm sure every copy in the city will be gone by now, after discussing things my sister might like to buy me for my birthday I'm not sure if buying it would be a bad move. Buying before all the stocks run out, surely the day after my birthday. Hmph. I don't know.

Just been to my first Mythologies seminar - magically moved from 1 to 3 due to excessive numbers - and while I'm still much more interested in Celtic myths than smelly Greek, looking at the reading extracts from the upcoming weeks it looks like we'll be covering Marina Warner, who I've been interested in for AGES, Pullman (I really should actually read that book I bought...), and 'Danielewski' - who has a unique enough name and who I'm optimistic enough to think might in fact be Mark Z. Danielewski, of House of Leaves fame!!

::is happy::

( Leeds, yay! )

Watched Emmerdale again tonight - there was a poker game, and Terry was not smoking but the three (non-arsehole) King brothers were because they had just had lots of hot gay brothersex, yay! Possibly Emmerdale will be my new slash soap. Eastenders just hurts me with its Andylessness. Only if they bring Dennis back, or Danny and Jake start having more obvious hot sex will I relent. Yes.

Ouch, the top of my mouth hurts. I have no Halls Soothers or ice-cream. Woe.

Been reading Atonement by Ian McEwan, for uni. Spent much of last night reading about how the main character, 13 year old Briony, spends time moving her finger, and wondering where the point is that thoughts turn into action, and thinking 'move, finger!' but knowing it's not the same as actually moving it, which I used to do all the time when I was younger omg!! Possibly this is a sign of the goodness of Ian McEwan but he is sort of boring me at the moment so I don't know.

Going to watch Desperate Housewives now, then Lemony Snicket yay! And ooo, extra icon spaceage is tempting me more and more, especially since this week's spacedchallenge's challenge this week involves a picture of Duane! Is slash too much to hope for? Willful obliviousness says no! :D
